Here’s what you’ll need if you want to build an industrial IoT sensor node:

• The intelligence to convert, filter, and in some cases analyze, analog signals at the edge
• Enough efficiency to run for long periods on minimal resources
• Some amount of connectivity
• And because of that, local security

Oh yeah, you’ll probably want to start thinking about compliance with safety standards like IEC 61508, too.

Upon visiting the STMicroelectronics booth at the recent embedded world trade show, I stumbled across some interesting software aimed at developing your own machine-learning applications.

CARIAD, the software unit of Volkswagen Group, and STMicroelectronics will shortly launch the joint development of an automotive system-on-chip (SoC), a new cooperation model for software-defined cars.

STMicroelectronics has released STM32Cube.AI version 7.2.0, the first artificial-intelligence (AI) development tool by an MCU vendor to support ultra-efficient deeply quantized neural networks. 

The STMicroelectronics VNF1048F automotive high-side switch controller combines enhanced system-protection and diagnostic features with ST’s I2-t silicon-fuse technology.

Geneva, June 20, 2022 – Cutting both on-resistance and switching loss, while optimizing body-diode properties, the STMicroelectronics 40V MOSFETs, STL320N4LF8 and STL325N4LF8AG, save energy and ensure low noise in circuits for power conversion, motor control, and power distribution.

With its Universal Debug Engine version UDE 2022 presented at embedded world 2022 in Hall 4, Stand 4-310, PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme now also supports the latest automotive MCUs from STMicroelectronics' Stellar E family.
